What you’ll do
- Build the demand gen strategy. Decide which markets and channels will move the needle, and make the case for where we put our time and budget.
- Drive pipeline. Own marketing’s contribution to the business and watch it grow. You’ll set the plan, track what’s working, and double down on it.
- Run campaigns that sellers love. Partner with our sales team and AWS counterparts to design multi-channel and account-based programs that put us in front of the right buyers at the right time.
- Tap into the AWS ecosystem. Work with AWS and our other technology partners on co-marketing, joint events, and funded programs.
- Tell great stories. Work with our engineers and architects to turn customer outcomes into case studies, one-pagers, and thought leadership that’s sharp, accurate, and on brand.
- Create events worth attending. Pick and run the webinars, workshops, and in-person moments that build relationships and pipeline.
- Own the stack. Run our marketing tools - Monday CRM, Apollo, and more.
- Show the impact. Share what’s working, what you learned, and where you’re taking things next.
